Spring Conference Tour Day - April 22, 2026

Get ready for one of the highlights of this year’s GACEP Spring Conference—Tour Day! We’ve curated an outstanding lineup of small, medium, and large programs housed in some of the Bay Area’s newest centers. During online registration, you’ll have the opportunity to select one tour track, each featuring two innovative programs and centers. You’ll end the day with a notebook full of ideas!

Tour Day Track: Cloudera and Zoom

Cloudera -  Strategically situated at the Silicon Valley HQ in San Jose, the Cloudera Customer Briefing Center (CBC) is a premier flagship destination designed to host and accelerate the most critical customer engagements through a white-glove, high-touch experience. This “small but mighty” briefing program excels at doing more with less, providing a bespoke journey that begins long before the guest arrives—from tailored agenda curation and executive speaker alignment, to seamless onsite hospitality. The sophisticated environment serves as a physical bridge between customers’ business goals and Cloudera’s engineering excellence, fostering a space where guests feel like true partners in innovation. While the center reflects the premier brand, the story of its creation is one of resourcefulness; navigating the unique re-branding restrictions of a sub-leased space required creative ingenuity.

Zoom - The San Jose Zoom Experience Center aims to inspire and immerse customers and partners in Zoom’s products, solutions, and values. The center balances a strong emphasis on sustainability as a LEED Gold-certified space while featuring the latest in technology. Examples include an 80-foot ambient Lens Wall, which offers visitors an immersive experience; and a 180-Degree Discovery Showcase, a next-generation showcase with an interactive, multi-touch, curved LED screen, providing a dynamic and engaging visual experience that can be customized for each guest during demonstrations and workshops. In addition, Zoom’s Boardroom of the Future is equipped with a floor-to-ceiling, seamless, curved 8K LED screen, and state-of-the-art audio systems. This boardroom exemplifies modern meeting technology.

Tour Day Track: Proofpoint and Rubrik

Proofpoint - The Proofpoint Innovation Center in Sunnyvale is a dedicated space designed to showcase cybersecurity solutions and thought leadership in an interactive, immersive environment. Serving as a powerful engagement tool, in its inaugural year, the center has helped sales, product, and leadership teams deliver differentiated experiences that strengthen customer trust, accelerate decision-making, and deepen relationships at the highest levels. The center’s cornerstone is the Experience Zone: an immersive entrance that intelligently displays customer-centric information about how Proofpoint is protecting their organization. The high-tech boardroom supports hybrid functions, with a secondary conference room available for breakout conversations. Finally, unique to the flagship center is The Studio, a meticulously designed room supporting photo shoots, podcasts, press announcements, and fireside chats.

Rubrik - Located at Rubrik’s headquarters in Palo Alto, the Rubrik Executive Briefing Center is purpose-built to support high-impact, peer-level executive engagements. In an executive briefing, you’ll engage with Rubrik’s top minds, the experts shaping the future of cyber-resilience. Together, we will listen, learn, share, and architect solutions to ensure your organization’s data and cyber-operations are resilient by design. You’ll walk away with powerful insight into Rubrik’s complete cyber-resilience platform, our roadmap, and how Rubrik’s end-to-end approach can accelerate business outcomes.

Tour Day Track: ServiceNow and Workday

ServiceNow - In ServiceNow’s Santa Clara HQ Innovation Center, the future takes shape through conversation, collaboration, and co-creation. It’s not about polished presentations or product pitches. It’s about rolling up our sleeves together to tackle what truly matters. Fortune 500 executives and ServiceNow leaders work side-by-side in an experience-led environment to explore what’s possible. Facilitator-led conversations replace slide decks, immersive touchscreen demos make AI tangible, and flexible lounges and dining spaces spark peer-to-peer exchange. Every element of the center is designed with intent. Space, programming, hospitality, and follow-through come together as a cohesive journey that leaves executives feeling heard, understood, and energized.
